Agreed! Best male vocalist for sure followed by the guy from Armenia (and the guys from Bulgaria). Estonian opera singer takes the prize for best female vocals.
Kennet I agree She has best female voice, I even made a video. I agree so much with you haha I edited a video today of Top 10 Male Voices and of cource 🤣😂 It got taken down because of copyrights and Sevak was also the Runner-Up
You know if people say that Estonia has the best female vocal of Eurovision 2018, then Albania definitely has the best male vocal of Eurovision 2018. I feel like Albania could possibly end up in a very high ranking this year. best of luck to my favourite song of this year of Eurovision. love your reaction video. !! :-)
Yeah, but I am glad to know that the juries of this year at least appreciate what he has shown to us. but the tele votes fucked him up. But I will remember this best male vocal of this year of Eurovision for a long time. ❤️🇦🇱
That's why he said there won't be dancers, because he wants people to concentrate in the song and the voice. It'll be him, his band and 2 back vocalists
Thank you so much for all the reactions of the songs of Eurovision Jake. I hope to see more videos of yours... Eugent has a special voice, we are so proud of him... ua-cam.com/video/PRPqQzb8qrM/v-deo.html ---> this is a cover of suus of Rona Nishliu, also a song of Eurovision (I advice you to listen from 01:17)... For a man is quite difficult to reach those high sounds, but Eugent can, and he makes it look so easy... Our three albanian singers (Eugent, Eleni with Cyprus, Ermal Meta with Italy) have made us all soo proud. Greetings from Albania
finally. I've kind of waited for this. I think you're somewhat right ... especially at the end of the video he seems a bit annoyed with his own dancers. I love his voice and this song. But it's so much better live than in any official version.
Don't worry. Eugent has said in an interview that there will be no dancers on the Eurovision stage. He said they are aiming for something simple with the staging. It's going to be his band + 2 female backing vocalists (6 person limit according to the ESC rules). You might as well check out the recent Eurovision Live in Amsterdam performance while you're at it (just him btw). He slayed that one as well!
I'm in two minds about this song. Firstly, it is about the longing we feel when separated from loved ones and the expectation of joy and relief when we are reunited. The dancers in the official music video and in this live performance helped convey that feeling for me, and as a piece of performance art it comes across quite effectively. Secondly, with that being said, this was a song selected for Eurovision to represent Albania and display Eugent as a singer, performer and frontman whom their country and other fans can support. To that end, he really should have been a bigger visual element in how they presented that song and I'm grateful that they scaled things back and actually got that balance right for his performances in Lisbon. The Netherlands could have learned a thing or two from Albania. Waylon was front and centre of all their pre-Eurovision presentations but got rather crowded out by the other elements of his Lisbon appearances. Regardless, Eugent and Waylon both have great songs and great voices and I'll be listening to them for a long time.
Thank you! :D You are not the only one who wants to knock those dancers off the stage before the semi-finals, btw. This recording is for a kids show, so maybe the creative team felt it needed something 'extra'. Eugent killed it on stage in Amsterdam when he was the only one on stage! Link to the performance if you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/AxyT04h2USs/v-deo.html Don't worry I will not make you react to it :D . He said in an interview that he will be joined by his band on stage in the semi-finals and that the rule of a maximum 6 people on stage/or behind it as backing vocals will not leave room for any dancers. Phew! ':D Hope more people will open their eyes and ears for Albania this year, because Eugent and his song are simply amazing! Thank you again! Greetings from Finland! :)
Thank you for your sincere reaction !! This great singer transmets us his soul and gathers us with his wanderfull positive wibes. It must be rated high 🤗🤗🤗😇😇
Ah, finally. I was wondering when this was going to happen once I started seeing those requests. I have to say, since I listen to the longer version almost daily it's kind of strange to hear the Eurovision version. And by the way, the video you originally watched was the second official one for Eurovision. The original was /watch?v=E7t4mu0tmWc with just him and a band, so that's what most people saw first. The music video is fine when you know the song, but for first time viewing it's too distracting. And I agree, he doesn't need dancers. My favourite version of this song is still the winning performance from the Albanian competition, where he was basically alone on stage with a guitarist (/watch?v=ZuZoTKTbwUA). Not just because it's the long version, but because all the attention was on him and his voice, and he managed to fill the huge stage without any problems. I wish they did the same at Eurovision, but that's probably not happening. No need to react to these videos, two Albania reactions are quite enough, but these are versions where there are no distracting people, if you want to check them out.
Hi,Jake!I'm one of the persons that recommended you this video.I agree with you that the dancers are distracting and unnecessary.His voice and personality does'nt need any more,he has stage presence enough.I love this entry,one of my favourites this year but very underrated in bets.I Hope that he qualify because his live actuation is so good that i think he could impress a lot in Lisbon.Thanks,Jake!!

This song is really very beautiful both at the level of the voice of Eugène and on the performance ! The dancers end a performance. Besides, his performance was very well! And Magic !! There were no dancers! Finally, I'am French, so There are some thing which I do not have can be not understood!
As it's been 10 years since 2008, why don't you react to this one: ua-cam.com/video/L6M300uBc7U/v-deo.html Ukraine from 2008 - I promise a feast for the eyes and ears! It's good!
Jake you are 100% right man. Dancers destroy the performance, put in shadow his voice and performance. Hope they realize that dancers should be out of stage.
Best vocals this year :) Amazing.
